Steve Golding, chairman and CEO of Golding Barge Line, a transporter of liquid commodities with roots dating back to 1960, is someone who has always been mindful of tradition. That is, until he recently named a new towboat the mv. Rusty Moore. The boat, built by Master Boat Builders on a triple-screw design from Sterling Marine, was delivered in August. Of the company's 26 boats, 25 are named after Golding relatives, once going as far out into the family tree as a distant relative in Kent, England, named Andrew Golding, who flew with his wife to Golding Barge Line's headquarters in Vicks-burg to christen a newly delivered tow-boat that Steve had named for him. And it was not as if Steve Golding sim- ply ran out of relatives and had no alternative but to name a boat after someone outside of the family. He has a grandson, Whit, who has yet to be honored with a vessel in his name. |
